I've only skimmed some of the code, but fwiw, anyone can read their code for each framework that's benchmarked here: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/master/frameworks https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/mast... There's also a good amount of active discussion going on here: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/discussions https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/discussio... Here's the code for the JS (just-js) benchmark: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/frameworks/JavaScript/just/techempower.js https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/mast... And here's the code for the Python uvicorn benchmark: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/frameworks/Python/uvicorn/app.py https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/mast... From some light skimming, the JS and Python code doesn't look particularly abnormal or overly-optimized.
